The only thing I tell them is, 'Look, don't give the other (expletive) team too much credit. It's a baseball game. Just try to win the game.' We had a lot of things go wrong. But my theory is, you got a game every day.
He's got, as they say, electric stuff, I guess. He's got a number of pitches that are all above average. He's a great competitor. He does a lot of things to help himself win games. You know, he's the No. 1 in my book.
Our bullpen glued it together really well. I thought we played a great game with our defense, pitching and offense. It's good to win the home opener.
I think you've got to do what you have to do to win right now.
Well we had the lead, then it got tight, of course, ... But with two outs, nobody on (in the ninth), you feel like you're going to win the ballgame.
With two outs and nobody on you feel like you're going to win a ballgame, ... We just did not get big hits.
It's always good to win the home opener.
It's awfully fun to win the way we've been winning. It's disappointing when we get knocked out. That last day comes too suddenly. We'll be after it again next year. We think we'll put a real good team on the field. We hope to go a lot further.
If he throws like that, he's got a chance to win 30.
